Question

Please, what do the EPC and ASR lights mean on my VW Passat?

My 03 vw passat shakes bad when started and seems to lose power the other day it stalled while driving and wouldnt start I waited for 10 min. it started back up and the EPC and ASR lights went off 2 days later they are back on again can someone suggest or give me some advice

This is a common problem on Jettas. They will go into "limp" mode when the EPC/ASR lights come on. The problem with most is throttle body failure. Have the throttle body checked. You will probably have to replace it. The other main reason those lights come on is a defective coil, but that apparently was only on 2001 and 2002 Jettas, not your 2003. I would have the coils checked just in case.

epc and asr lights went out now engine light came on and is blinking the car shakes a little when i started it and feel like its going to stall i took it to mechanic and he says i need new ignition coils ( 4 x 35.00 each) and spark plugs(4x8.00 each)
